Monday, Sept. 14

Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Fill my heart, O God, with the charity that unites us perfectly to you. May I show this charity to those whom you call me to serve.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle – Pray for us.
Live, Jesus, in our hearts – Forever! 

Happy Birthday: Gianna R., Ariah N.

Dress code violations on Out-of-Uniform Days will be reported to the Dean of Student Life. Out-of-uniform attire is subject to the approval of the administration. Students who do not meet the above guidelines will be required to change attire or wear a school-loaned uniform, and the student will be written up for a uniform violation.
